NOTICE OF VIOLATION Carolina Power & Light Company Docket No.:
50-261 H. B. Robinson Unit 2 License No.:
DPR-23 During an NRC inspection conducted on July 17 - August 26, 1995, a violation of NRC requirements was identified. In accordance with the "General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," (60 FR 34381; June 30, 1995/NUREG-1600), the violation is listed below:
Technical Specification 6.5.1.1.1, Procedures, Tests, And Experiments, states that written procedures shall be established, implemented, and maintained, covering the activities recommended in Appendix "A" of Regulatory Guide 1.33, Rev. 2, February 1978, including procedures related to the operation of the Chemical And Volume Control System'and the Authorities and Responsibilities For Safe Operation And Shutdown.
Operations Management Manual Procedure OMM-001, Operations - Conduct Of Operations, Revision 44, requires that "Three-way communications should be used for all communications dealing with the plant...," including the alteration of plant configuration.
Operating Procedure OP-301, Chemical And Volume Control System provides the instructions for the normal and infrequent operation of the Chemical And Volume Control System, including placing excess letdown in service.
Contrary to the above; A.
On July 24, 1995, Operating Procedure OP-301, Chemical And Volume Control System, was inadequate in that it contained no specific guidance concerning the manipulation of the charging and seal injection valves while the system was being operated with excess letdown in service. This resulted in system over-pressurization and damage.
B.
On July 24, 1995, a reactor operator failed to follow Procedure OMM-001, in that he did not communicate his intended actions to the Senior Control Operator before ordering an Auxiliary Operator to throttle reactor coolant pump seal injection flow. The Reactor Operator's actions resulted in the Chemical and Volume Control System being over-pressurized and damaged.
This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement I).
Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Carolina Power & Light Company is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U. S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN:
Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region II, and a copy to the NRC Resident Inspector at the facility that is the subject of this Notice, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice). This reply should be clearly marked as a "Reply to a Notice of Violation" and should include for each violation:
(1) the reason for the 9509280237 950918 PDR ADOCK 05000261 G
violation, or, if contested, the basis for disputing the violation, (2) the corrective steps that have been taken and the results achieved, (3) the corrective steps that will be taken to avoid further violations, and (4) the date when full compliance will be achieved. Your response may reference or include previous docketed correspondence, if the correspondence adequately addresses the required response. If an adequate reply is not received within the time specified in this Notice, an order or a Demand for Information may be issued, as to why the license should not be modified, suspended, or revoked, or why such other action as may be proper should not be taken. Where good cause is shown, consideration will be given to extending the response time.
Because your response will be placed in the NRC Public Document Room (PDR), to the extent possible, it should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be placed in the PDR without redaction. However, if you find it necessary to include such information, you should clearly indicate the specific information that you desire not to be placed in the PDR, and provide the legal basis to support your request for withholding the information from the public.
Dated at Atlanta, Georgia this 18th day of September 1995
